Oreflow supplies a full range of conveyor idlers for mining and bulk material handling applications. Our assemblies include high quality rollers and heavy-duty frames, engineered for reliability in high-impact, high-load conveyor systems.
We offer standard and custom configurations to suit a wide variety of conveyor layouts, including trough idlers, return idlers, impact idlers, training idlers, and transition sets. Whether you’re installing a new system or replacing worn components, we can source or manufacture the right idler assemblies to meet your site’s operational requirements.
Oreflow’s idlers are available in a range of roller diameters, bearing types, materials, and seal options, depending on the application and environmental conditions. All units are built to industry standards for extended service life and reduced maintenance downtime.
We also stock and source replacement conveyor rollers and frames compatible with most leading belt widths and design specifications used in Australian mining operations.
TYPES OF CONVEYOR IDLERS
We supply a wide range of idler assemblies to suit different conveyor functions and load requirements:
- CARRY IDLERS: Support the loaded side of the belt and maintain material stability during transport.
- RETURN IDLERS: Carry the empty belt back to the tail pulley with minimal friction.
- IMPACT IDLERS: Absorb shock at loading points to protect both the belt and structure
- TRAINING IDLERS: Help correct belt tracking and reduce misalignment over long runs
- RUBBER DISC IDLERS: Minimise material build-up and are ideal for sticky or wet loads.
- TRANSITION IDLERS: Used at the loading and discharge points of the conveyor.
Every idler is manufactured to withstand the tough conditions of mining and heavy industry, offering smooth rotation, sealed bearings, and long service life.
